too many men engaged in the raising
OF horses In the United States,
and that over-production will
ruin everything. The are too many
poor horses In the west, and In fact all

Formerly the officers Of the general
staff were not taken from the army.
They were first educated at the Polytech-
mic, or at st. Cyr, and then passed into
the school Of application for the general
staff; thence they were sent for one year
to an infantry regiment, one year to q
cavalry regiment and latterly for half
year to the artillery, but 1t must be re-
marked that during this service they
did no actual regimental duty. After
they passed through these so called
schools they at once entered the general
staff as captains, and, unfortunately,
usually as aides-de-camp to general Off
GERS. Now man may be, socially, very
amiable, and socially, very accom-
plished, and therefore extremely well
fitted to be an aide-de-camp to general,
to manage his menus plaisirs, and yet
not be in the least qualified for staff
officer in the proper sense Of the word.
So when many Of the general officers
were promoted and their aides-de-camp
carried up grade with them. it often
placed these young officers in positions Of
immense importance, often calling for
the performance of dutses which they
were incapable Of performing. And
these were the officers to whom the de-
Tending of many Of the fortresses in 1870
was intrusted, and who had been ordered
to their strengthening previous to the
breaking out of hostilities.
What could one expect from such ma
terial? Today the armies of France are
well officered, the condition Of the line
excellent, the esprit de corps good and
the frontier defense formidable.

At the Congregational church. Prof. Ropes
of Bangor, supplied the pulpit in the absence
of the pastor.
Text-Mark s 36-37. what shall it profit
man if he gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul? or what shall man give in exchange
for his soul:'
Here are two questions, and the second
grows out of the first. Is there any gain IN
an ungodly life that results in the loss OF the
soul. and having lost the soul, is there any way
to buy it back: The figure is one of bargain
made, and then cancelled because improbable.
There is First, the sale, Second. the ransom.
|. The sale. The idea of giving up the soul
to the devil as the price of some coveted pleas
ure. is familiar TO medieval legends. 1t
finds its counterpart in the experience of every
one to-day. who is ''sold under sim Does
any one object that he has had no transaction
with the devil; Let him remember that In the
legends, the devil never pears in his own
proper guise. but as n respectable gentleman.
But as in the legends. the fatal sale was never
made without the voluntary signature OF the
Satan, there is the free choice and consent of

have been had he been honest and Fiske's in

In no other way. But what are sensuous
pleasures, compared with the legitimate ones
of christianity. The christians life is the hap
pie>t. The ungodly man loses these highest
pleasures, and puts up with inferior ones. He
gains hard life for the way of the transgres-
sor is hard.
II. The souls ransom. The question OF the
ages has been, 'Wherewith shall come be-
fore the Lord and bow myself before the high
GodY' Man has absolutely nothing with which
to redeem his soul which he has sold. But
listen 10 God. He says, "Deiyer him from
going down to the pit, have found ransom
for him.. And that ransom was Christ-for

William P. Preble, Esq, of Cranberry
Isles, is the veteran Justice of the Peace for
that locality. He has held commission for
over forty-six years, having probably no senior
justice in Hancock county, unless it be Leon
ard }. Thomas, Esq, Of Eden. While this
gentleman has spent long life in the business
chiefly followed in that locality. he has, also.
attended to large share of the legal business
of his town, held many and various Offices in
trust. The town seldom having had a resi-
dent minister. he has officiated at many mar
riages-probably in large majority OF cases
to the satisfaction and delight of all interested.
A few months since he married a lady whose
mother, maternal grandfather and great grand
father had each 10 turn received the same rite
at his hands. 1t is hoped that he NAV live to
perform the marriage ceremony for the chill
dren Of the lady above mentioned.-Mount
